VETERAN'S STAR Memorial
The focus of this tribute to Veterans is the star in the window; representing what so many mothers sewed and displayed when their sons were at war. The polished tapered opening takes one’s eye to the star and engraving that honors all those who served. Our soldiers influence is felt around the world as represented by the elliptical shape of the monolith. Freedom, our soldier’s mission, is shown by the free flowing water that flows over the oval front edge of the water basin carved into the stone below the window. The water reservoir and pump located deep below the memorial re-circulate the water flow.
